Training Log Archive: O-ing

Golden Fleece, St Helens, M55, 10th. The GPS tells the tale of another shocker. I really have been uncompetitive this week (bar the Sprint) and today was the worst. Missed 6 a bit and rushed 7 which is where the wheels fell off.

Long 7 - Splits

Bicheno, M55, 2nd. O distance, didn't have time to start GPS as I got my start time wrong 1:23 to 1:28 (it was the 28th today). Thanks to Andy Simpson and Geoff Todkill and the start officials I got rushed through and got to the maps with 7 seconds to spare.
Despite that got a really good start and had a 48 second lead by no. 4. From there to no. 10 it was a case of Geoff Lawford hauling me back in and by no. 10 he was up by 5 seconds. Biggest time loss for me was 14 seconds at no.9 where I got stuck in some rough stuff.
From there to 16 we were swapping the lead and Geoff still had 5 seconds at 16. That was after 17 minutes and on the last 3 controls he pulled out an extra 7, 8 and 2 seconds to win by 22.
Very happy with that after the woeful lead up and the extra 4 kg I'm carrying around since I had to stop running in March.

Sprint 3 - Splits

Long Distance. Good, enjoyable course. A big contrast to yesterday.
